I had many fine years with my previous agent, Steven Chudney, and I wish him the very best as he transitions into retirement. I'm forever grateful for all he's done. Here's to the books in the past, and the books to come! – at Oak Park, IL

Years 1 and 2 have been enjoying 'Umami' by @JacobGrantBooks this week. She is fed up of eating cold fish three times a day and decides to do something about it! Will she able to get the other penguins to like her new food? @VikingBooks @BST_Tokyo @BST_PTA
